If you want to earn while you
learn a skilled profession, the Department's apprenticeship
programs are your choice. Successful candidates can

Mechanic, or Electrician, or as a Utility Craftsworker
Apprentice. Training programs range from three to four
years, and include classroom instruction, home study,
and work experience. As an apprentice, you will work
under the close supervision of a certified journey person
and perform increasingly complex technical tasks.
